Ride to Gimpo Airport

Graduated from training

So I finished instructor training yesterday and immediately after we finished, everyone was split up, and sent off in separate vans on our way to our respective training locations.  Sono and I were the only two going to jeju, so we went to Gimpo airport.  Once we got there, we had to wait a few hours for our flight, so I was pretty bored.  No wifi and no movies on my laptop = LAME.

Anyways, we landed in Jeju around 9:30pm and our branch manager picked us up and took us to our house.  Yes, I did say house and not studio or apartment.  Sono and I are actually going to be roommates for the next year or so in this huge (by Korean standards) house.  I'd say it's about the size of a average 3 bedroom home in the United States.  We're currently living with our Faculty manager who is the original tenant.  But his contract is up in a few weeks, so he'll be leaving and it'll just be me and Sono. 

Talk about good karma.  I'm not sure what I did to deserve this lifestyle, but I'm glad it happened.  I'm teaching at one of the most prestigious English schools in Korea, in Jeju(!) at that, and I live in a house that is larger than any apartment I've ever lived in.  I find myself feeling incredibly fortunate and really like the direction that my life is heading in.

I'll be uploading some videos in a bit, showing the house and my neighborhood, and some other clips.  Stay tuned.

Post Medical Exam clip

Nothing special here, but since I recorded it, I figured I'd add it since you can get a nice feel for the weather and how nice the city is.
